    摘要: An inexpensive cell analysis and separation apparatus using a flow channel formed on one surface of a substrate and a chip replaceable for each sample, and a method for culturing the separated cells without contamination, are provided. A flow channel for allowing a cell-containing buffer solution to flow is provided. Cells are detected in the middle of the flow channel, and separated to a plurality of downstream flow channels based on whether each cell fulfills a predetermined condition. A culturing tank for collecting the condition-fulfilling cells is covered with a semipermeable membrane at a top surface so as to prevent contamination during cell separation. When the cell separation is finished, the flow channel communicated with the culturing tank accommodating the condition-fulfilling cells is closed, and the culturing tank is cut off from the apparatus and put into a culturing device containing a predetermined medium to culture the cells.

    摘要: The present invention provides an apparatus for evaluating a drug effect enabling on-chip evaluation of the effect of a drug while the drug is acting on hERG-expressing cells. The present invention also provides a myocardial toxicity test apparatus and method therefor enabling in vitro myocardial toxicity testing that has previously been performed in vivo.A pulsating cell population and hERG-expressing cells (target model cells) are suitably isolated and arranged on a transparent substrate so that the two form gap junctions. The hERG-expressing cells are arranged on transparent electrodes provided on the transparent substrate. The hERG-expressing cells are exposed to a flow of a liquid containing a drug such that the drug acts thereon. The difference between the normal pulsation of hERG-expressing cells and the pulsation when a drug is acting thereon is captured via electric signals obtained from electrodes, and the properties of the change in potential are evaluated.

    摘要: A chip has been developed that can accurately measure cell potential and cell morphology on a single cell basis. The chip also constitutes a cardiac model that comprises a closed loop whereupon cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts are suitably dispersed and arranged, and that can evaluate the effects of a drug thereon. An in vitro cardiac reentry model chip is fabricated by constructing a closed loop comprising cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts arrayed on transparent electrodes formed on a transparent substrate by using a constitution where single cells are enclosed in a specific spatial configuration. A pulse wave of a random cardiomyocyte or a specific cardiomyocyte is propagated on both sides of the loop, and the pulsation status of the cells in the loop is detected electrically. A drug is applied to this cardiac reentry model chip, and the benefit or toxicity of the drug to cardiomyocytes is evaluated by measuring the cell potentials of individual cells.
